Ares's Pov:
I could feel Achilles's heated gaze on me as I quietly sat on my throne and was in deep thoughts, I couldn't get the voice out of my mind no matter what I did.
" My Lord, are you still thinking about the human child? "
I leaned back and sighed as he asked me, I have never felt so restless like this before. I hear thousands of prayers from the humans day in and day out as they ask for only destruction from me, I wasn't a nice god and the only thing I knew best to do was rain havoc and destruction. I tend to ignore them but I couldn't bring myself to ignore hers, rather of asking for destruction like others do she asked me to take away her life and she'd been asking all the time since that night she came crying in my temple.
I was able to ignore her that night but after then I couldn't bring myself to, but instead I felt pained whenever I heard her cry to me and I felt like she was directly calling out to me. She was just a human child but whenever I heard her voice I felt something stirred up deep inside of me.
" Her voice rings in my mind without warning and her cries echoes throughout my very being, I have to get to the bottom of this "
It all started after that night, I started to feel an attachment to her which I couldn't decipher.
" My Lord, would it please you if I traveled down to the human world to get you the answers you seek? "
I quickly sat up when Achilles asked, that sounded like a very good idea. But I wanted to be the one to seek out those answers, it wasn't that I didn't trust Achilles I just wanted to see her even if it was once.
" I'll travel down myself, you need not to bother about it "
" But my Lord, I see it not to be good idea for my Lord to go down to the human world himself for a mundane "
Achilles quickly knelt as he said to me, his loyalty to me far exceeded that of my thoughts. I got down from my throne and walked over to him
" I never said I was descending to the human world, my conscious is the only thing descending. Take care of things for me, I don't want to be bothered for awhile "
I could sense his uneasiness but my words were final and nothing was going to make me change them, I walked out of the throne room and back to my Chambers. I took a seat in the sofa in my bed chamber and and laid on it as i rested my elbow on the armrest side and I rest my head on my palm, I closed my eyes as I let my consciousness traveled out of my body and descended to my temple in the mortal world and took possession of one of the sculpture they made of me. I waited patiently for her when a very pure white wolf came running into the temple, I felt something stirred up inside the body I left in my world and I watched it quietly as it walked around before it suddenly took a protect stance when it sensed my presence which made me stunned and it slowly searched around in the temple. I couldn't help but make a sudden move to show it where I was which shocked myself.
' A child of the goddess of the moon? ' I thought
I thought it'd run out after seeing a sculpture move but it stood still unprotected as it quietly watched me and I stared back at it
" Shift back "
I suddenly broke the silence as I ordered it and it nodded its head in understanding, I watched it quietly as it shifted into a girl and she slowly stood up on her feet. I watched her in daze as I had this nostalgic feeling, she was basically dressed in rags but she stood magnificently like a goddess. Her hair which was white just like her fur and as pure as the snow flowed behind her beautiful with her silver eyes giving her beauty an amazing spark, I didn't know I was in daze and so lost in her beauty until she cleared her throat and took a step forward
" What are you? "
She suddenly asked bringing me out of my daze and I stared at her muted, it was that same voice which had been hunting me in my sleep and had terrorized my thoughts. Just it wasn't just a mortal's voice as I thought but it belonged to this child of the goddess of the moon, I stared at her thinking why she'd seek me out instead of her goddess. The goddess of the moon Selene was in charge of the needs of her children down here, yet this one dared sought me out not one once but several times.
" Why are you here child of moon, and why do you constantly seek me out? "
I asked expecting her to answer me but she stood still in silence not uttering a word,
" Do you not hear me?! "
I raised my voice in anger and she flinched
" It's quiet here and no one will hurt me when I'm here, please who are you and why do you say I sought you out? "
She trembled as she said and asked, her words amused me that made me went silent as I stared at her not knowing what to think of her. There was something about her which made her seemed and looked more and more like a goddess, she didn't seemed to be just one of the moon goddess's children.
" You sought me out when you prayed to me, do you really want me to take away your life? Why didn't you seek out your goddess? "
She started to let her guard down around me which amused me even more of her behavior, in front of a greater threat she just stood there unprotected and stared at my sculpture in curiosity. I expected her to had ran out with her tails tuck between her legs but yet she stayed and was having a conversation with a sculpture,
'What a strange child ' I thought
No one in their right mind would still be standing here after I moved the sculpture but here she was, standing without worry of what I could or might do to her.
" I happened to stumbled here on the night my mate rejected me, I just prayed to whichever god it was because I'm not a believer. I didn't think you were listening "
